Ingredients

Method

cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then beat in vanilla extract and eggs

in a separate bowl sift flour, cocoa and baking powder together

add flour mix to the creamed mix in stages( a third at a time) mix well. fold in choc chips until just combined.

spoon a tablespoon of the mixture on to a baking tray and just let it drop off the spoon, repeat until you have used up all the cookie mixture.

bake in preheated oven for 12 minutes, when you remove the cookies from the oven they will still be soft, leave to cool completely on the baking tray, where they will continue to cook slightly,when completely cold move to a cooling rack. then enjoy Mmmmmmmm.

I just tried these and OMG they are so delicious!!! I added a little twist which ended up not being so nice! I added butterscotch chips with the chocolate ones.. Next time (oh there will definitely be a next time!!) I'll stick to the recipe and use only chocolate chips.. My hubby loved them as well.. 5 stars!

Great recipe, I made 38 cookies, about rich tea size with the amounts given, which took about 9 mins to cook properly, any longer and they get a bit crispy round the edges. I used white and milk choc chips which was delicious and looked great. Really easy recipe, will definitely make again!

We held a cake sale at work and i made these cookies as my offering, they went down a treat with everybody commenting on how tasty they were! They're extremely soft and chewy, i added white and dark choc chips as i hadn't got any milk chocolate chips and this worked just as well :D

Fab cookies...my 10 year old daughter just made these with my guidance and they were really quick and easy. She was thrilled with the result and they went down well with the whole family. Will definitely be making them again but will make them slightly smaller next time!

Wow- I have always been disappointed in the past with cookie recipes but not this one. They are so easy to make and are melt in your mouth. Just made my second batch and now cant wait to play around and make some plain cookies with white choc chips and macadamia, fudge chunk ones and maybe even some cranberry and choc chip. I halved the recipe the second time and reduced the cooking time to 10 minutes - more to save my waistline than anything else!
